Extract

The fifth meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the American Republics was held at Petropolis, Brazil, from August 15 to September 2, 1947. The main task of the conference was to translate into more permanent form the system of inter American collective security established by the Act of Chapultepec. This act, drawn up as a temporary war measure by the Inter-American Conference on Problems of War and Peace in March 1945, had for the first time envisaged the use of force by the inter-American system.
